I want to know the purpose of: AcpIR.cab ibmtcsd.exe ibmtcsd.exe implements the TSS Core Services Daemon. The core services daemon sits above the TPM Device Driver Library (TDDL) to which it communicates via the TPM Device Driver Library Interface (TDDLI) and talks via the TSS Core Service Interfac...

The majority of this type of problem, in my experience, is caused by an incompatibility with the wireless access point. Checking for updated firmware for the access point is generally helpful. One particular incompatibility is when the access point doesn't properly queue up broadcast packets for the...

Getting them to just "take it back" may be asking a bit much, but if there is a way to accomplish that please let me know who to contact. They probably won't take it back for a full refund, (unless you ask nicely and have an especially helpful rep), but I would think you could get them to take it b...

any suggestions on how to get them to simply replace it rather than repair it? I'm not sure, but if they're willing to take this one as a return (for a refund), then you can just order another one yourself. Also, in answer to your question, the power settings are all on default, as from the factory...

My X60 has the intel card you reference plus bluetooth, which I don't use but which has been left on. There is no Verizon or other WWAN card. I doubt it would make a difference, since most of the bluetooth circuitry sits in the lid of the thinkpad, but you could always try switching off the bluetoo...

Finally someone with a datalogging thermocouple gets some real data. Good work! Your data does confirm what I've been saying all along, which is that the APS sensor reading is really only very loosely correlated with the palmrest temp. Questions: What was the ambient temp in the room while you were ...

Also, my X60s did not come with EVDO capability, but now I wish I had it. Can I retrofit this, for example are the EVDO card and driver/other software available separately and is it a do-it-yourself sort of install? I've opened up notebooks to replace hard drives, etc, in the past. In my X60s which...

There are many many many postings on this issue in the archives of this forum, search and you will see that you are not alone. To save you reading through all of those postings here is my summary: The wireless card sits under the right palmrest and seems to be responsible for most of the heat; The "...

Again I must tip my hat to you, sir, for I have learned something new yet again from you. I was not that familiar with Windows Installer files, and didn't know you could real-time "patch" them in memory like that. After seeing this work for myself, I nabbed a copy of Orca and saw what it was that y...

Lev, You're the man! I know... Seems ridiculous that I have to go to all this trouble and jump through all of these hoops to use a product that I purchased in good faith to its full ability. Ah, well. Anybody got any ideas? Well, I've never made an mst before, and this is completely untested, but w...

I ordered the fingerprint scanner, after seeing your reply here and being somewhat reassured as a result that it would work. I installed it on a non-IBM/Lenovo machine. The fingerprint software itself installed fine, and it works as far as logging into Windows is concerned, but CSS (ANY version) re...

I'm surprised nobody has mentionned Neal Stephenson's "In the beginning was the command line" in this discussion yet:

Of course he wrote that before OS X existed and has later gone on record saying he uses OS X all the time now...

I agree that it is nice to be able to do fn-pgup for the thinklight in the dark, but I think it wouldn't be much harder to find fn in the dark if the layout was fn ctrl win alt space. And I use emacs a lot (which uses many ctrl combinations) and would like it much better if the ctrl were easier to f...

Is it quite an old TV? Some old TVs used ultrasonic remote controls rather than the modern infrared. These TVs can be switched on by jangling keys, fiddling with a slinky, etc: http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a3_270.html Modern laptops make a variety of ultrasonic and not-quite-ultrasonic noise...

I know the video memory can be maxed at 128mb and also that it is shared. Que question is how and where do i need to look to adjust it?. Now it's set at 7mb at least i would like to have it at 32mb or 64mb can that be done? Any help is appreciated. :) You will use more memory if you need more memor...

I am trying to install this game but the requirements stated that it needs a HW-T&L video card the X60 have it? No. It's more efficient with modern CPUs to let the CPU do T&L and leave the graphics hardware to do texturing, pixel shading, etc. http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/sb/CS-011910.htm

It's off all the time. No matter what fn-f5 ing you do.

But in the past, it would switch on and off when you would activate/deactivate it that way.

They don't have to go all the way through to be the microphone appeture. Just to be sure, we are talking about the pair of holes right below the arrow key set on the X60s, right? On the x60s there is a cosmetic pair of indents below the arrow key set, behind which is the shell of the rear USB socke...

I see this too. I rarely use bluetooth, so I'm not sure when the light stopped coming on. Maybe related to upgrading to BIOS 2.05?

Actually, I think it is not a microphone, instead "they" want you to think it is a microphone. I think the main function of those holes is just to reduce the weight of the laptop by 0.0000003 lbs. Just kidding. Of course the holes themselves can't be the actual microphone -- holes don't do much bes...

Hello: What's the little "thingy" that looks like 2 small holes side-by-side near the -> arrow key, bottom right of the x60s? Is it a microphone? thanks, phil Actually, I think it is not a microphone, instead "they" want you to think it is a microphone. It's a mark that's meant to look like a micro...

Its interesting that you now have 14x the VRAM of my X32 and PCI-X for bandwidth for the video display adapter on your X60s (vs. AGP 4x of the X32), yet you only have 50 Hz vertical refresh. If I can't visually tell the difference between 50Hz and 60Hz (and, believe me, I really tried to find one),...

:o Wow! I'm surprised! Your X60s (50 Hz) screen refresh rate is *slower* than my X32. On the X32, it is 60 Hz. 60 Hz is the only screen refresh rate the X32 can display... Does anyone know if this is because GMA 950 uses physical memory? When I first got the X60s, it had refresh rate options of 40H...

Tried. Power consumption is slightly bigger than with 1.11. I see this also. The "standby glitch" (the increased power consumption after resuming from standby) is still there. I didn't investigate this. Video memory is 224 MB as promised. I also see this. What else? I updated the video drivers agai...

Currently, if you customize your X60 on the lenovo website, they are offering the x6 ultrabase for $49, as a "holiday deal" which is a lot less than the usual $199. It's available on sale by itself under "accessories":"docks and port replicators" for $159, and I haven't seen it any cheaper elsewhere...

I think he meant the region of the firmware on it. It may be flashable with RPC firmware, if it's out there. (Usually is)

That was my point. Panasonic/Matshita are notorious for not having tweaked firmwares available.

Is this a new drive? Press release was September 18, 2006: http://www.plextor.com/english/news/press/608U_pr.htm Techonweb has it in stock for $180 - $30 MIR = $150 until Nov 30: http://www.techonweb.com/products/productdetail.aspx?id=D02396&src=PG That is a different drive.

BIOS 1.11: min 5.74-6.15W on idling BIOS 2.04: min 5.96-6.60W on idling And yes, the 2.04 version is not immune to the "standby glitch", that is, after resuming from standby/hibernation on battery wattage stays pegged around 8W and does not go any lower. Thanks for this information. I'll report bac...

I checked with a company that sold lots of drives and they said this one had the lowest error rate and was the best. I think this might be the drive that Apple uses... Panasonic UJ-85J is a front slot loader. It's a common drive. I hope you weren't planning on watching foreign DVDs on it, though.

Tried it today. No visible improvement. Rather, power consumption on batteries seems to be slightly increased by ~0.3-0.5 W. Will check it out tomorrow for "standby glitch" then will decide if I want to stay with it. What was your previous BIOS version that you were using, so we know what you are c...
